Prevention strategy for superinfectionmathematical model tuberculosis and HIVassociated with AIDSMuhammad Tahir1*, Syed Inayat Ali Shah1 and Gul Zaman2
Abstract: In this article, we extended the co-infection mathematical model [1] foroptimal control purpose. We initially derived a threshold number R0 and found
bounded and biological region for the study of the proposed model. Here, wedeveloped a methodology through the considered superinfection problem which isgetting abate while neglecting Acquired Immuno deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)because it is a noncurable disease. For this, we developed the following controlvariables in our model: V1, using treatment against TB; V2, infection control in
health-care center; V3, co-treatment of multidrug-resistant TB and HIV or start bothHIV antiretroviral and anti-TB drug therapy; and V4, avoid close contact with TBpatient. These are defined with some different schemes to minimize and control theinfection from any community and population. In the last section, numericalsimulation is presented which supports the given model.

PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENTIn this study we discussed the three acting playdiseases AIDS/HIV/TB. Tuberculosis (TB) is apotentially serious infectious disease which bringHIV and then AIDS if no treatment taken. Here allthe diseases are so harmful and transmissible,even if an individual get infection it transmit andcirculate in the entire world. In this study weshown that vaccination is key factor against thesediseases. The study is valuable for all mankindto avoid from these virus need to adopt good andhealthy environment, isolation from infectedindividuals, vaccination at proper time etc. Thestudy also provide a wide range of safety if pre-caution are adopted in advance, and if infectedshould be treated on time, is the necessary advisefor all mankind.

1. Introduction and related literatureMathematical models have a great role in science field. Developing a mathematical model istermed mathematical modeling which is used in natural sciences such as physics, chemistry,and biology, as well as in engineering sciences such as computer sciences and electrical sciences.It is the art to transfer any problems from application area into tractable mathematical formula-tion. Developing a mathematical models is the process that uses maths to represent, analyze,make predictions, or otherwise provide insight into the real-world phenomena. There are manymathematical models and many techniques to solve a particular problem. Mathematical biologycan help us solve massive problems such as recycling option or the spread of a disease ina population. Work in mathematical biology is typically a collaboration between mathematicianand biologist. Similarly, control of an infectious disease is obligatory; therefore, some mathema-tical models and methodology are adopted to control infection. This is known as optimal control.
1.1. AIDS/HIV/TBAIDS is also called acquired immune deficiency syndrome which is occurred by a condition calledspectrum. In the initial stage, AIDS patients show no clear symptoms or influenza-like illness(International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, 2002b). The most important fact about AIDSis that it takes a long time period for symptoms to be obvious (HIV/AIDS Fact sheet N360, 2015).While the late symptoms brought a viral infection called Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(AIDS) (HIV/AIDS Fact sheet N360, 2015). AIDS can be spread by unprotected sex, blood transfu-sion, and usable syringes and from mother to child during pregnancy and breastfeeding which arethe two major ways (About HIV/AIDS, 2015). Nowadays AIDS has no proper cure; however,antiretroviral vaccines have been developed which have a low infection rate, thus enabling AIDSpatients to possess a near-normal life (Cunningham, Donaghy, Harman, Kim, & Turville, 2010). Thetotal survival time without treatment for AIDS individual is 11 years after infection (Markowitz,edited by William N. Rom; associate editor, Steven B, 2007). Approximately 36.7 million individualsare living with HIV infection, while 1 million deaths occurr according to a survey conducted in 2016(UNAIDS, WHO, 2007), and these infected people mostly live in sub-Saharan Africa (UNAIDS, WHO,2007). Then, according to a 2014 survey, AIDS caused an estimated 39 million deaths worldwide(Fact sheet—Latest statistics on the status of the AIDS epidemic | UNAIDS, 2017). Initial infectionwith HIV is called acute HIV syndrome (Basic Statistics, 2015), while the next stage is called clinicallatency. Without treatment in the second stage of HIV, the survival time is considered to be 3–20years (Evian, 2006; xxxxx, 2007). The third chronic and last stage is called AIDS which can bedefined as when the CD4 + T cells go down below 200 cells per µL (Duoyi, 2001). A recent studyabout AIDS was presented by Win Min Han et al. on 27 September 2018 which was related to CD4and CD8 cell normalization and Tahir et al. presented a coinfection model (Tahir, Shah, & Zaman,2018; Win Min et al., 2018). Optimal control theory is one of the powerful tools used inmathematics to control or reduce infection in the community and population. In this situation,a control law is required through which we judge the problem and minimize the infection.
Human immunodeficiency virus is a global health problem which is a lentivirus and causes HIVinfection. It is one of the most studied infectious diseases in the world. If an infected individualdoes not use medicines against HIV, then the total survival time of that individualis 9–11 years(Lawn & Zumla, 2011). HIV is differentiated into two forms: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 virus whichwas initially discovered is considered that mostly infect HIV globally (Doitsh et al., 2014).Transmission rate of HIV-2 mainly occurred in West Africa (International Committee onTaxonomy of Viruses, 2002a). A recent work on optimal control in 2018 has been done byTahir el.al who presented the stability and optimal control of Middle East respiratory syn-drome corona virus (MERS-CoV) (Tahir et al., 2018). HIV destroyed the system of basic immunecells of the human body system, like helper T cells (UNAIDS, WHO, 2007), and it decreases thenumbers of CD4 + T cells by a mechanism called pyroptosis and broadly infects T-cell apoptosisof uninfected cells of the body (UNAIDS, WHO, 2007). When CD4 + T cells of a person decreasebelow the critical numbers, the body is prone infections (Cunningham et al., 2010). An optimalcontrol was presented by Adams et al. HIV dynamics modeling, data analysis, and optimal

treatment protocols (Duoyi, 2001) were discussed. Also for the optimal control purposes Hem RajJoshi et al. discussed the optimal control of an HIV immunology model (Evian, 2006). Recently,Ciaranello et al. presented simulation modeling and metamodeling to explain national andinternational HIV policies for children and adolescents (WHO, 2007).
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuber-culosis (Tahir & Shah, 0000) and simply known as a contagious infection. TBgenerally affects thelungs. Most TB patients show no symptoms, and this is known as latent TB. Latent TB individuals arenot harmful to people and do not spread the infection further. A tool to diagnose latent TB such asthe tuberculin skin test (TST) is used. Nowadays, most TB cases are considered curable by the use ofantibiotics. The latent infections progress into active TB in about 10% of the cases. Symptoms for theactive TB include feeling of sickness, weight loss, high fever, cough, chest pain, and chronic coughcontaining blood or sputum. Medicines are prescribed for a period of 6 to 9 months. TB alsospreads in the community by breathing contaminated air. According to a survey, one-third of thepopulation of the entire world were considered to be infected by TB (Tahir & Shah, 0000), and someinfections occur in about 1% of the whole population of the world every year (Tuberculosis Fact sheetN104, 2015). There has been a decline in the new cases of active TB from 2000 (Tahir & Shah, 0000).Also, 80% of the people in Asian and African countries show a positive test, while 5–10% people inthe United States show a positive tuberculin test (Tuberculosis, 2002). TB disease was present inhumans from ancient times (Kumar, Abbas, Fausto, & Mitchell, 2007). The optimal control strategy ofa fractional multistrain TB model was presented by Sweilam, and Mekhlafi (Sweilam & Mekhlafi,2016). Similarly, a numerical approach for optimal control was presented by (Sweilam & Mekhlafi,2016) for the time delay of multistrain fractional model TB.
In this article, we extended the mathematical model (Tahir & Shah, 0000) and focus on theminimization of the superinfection AIDS, HIV,and TB problem. After the introduction and relatedliterature, we find the threshold number. Then, we find the bounded and physical region for thestudy of the model. Here our mission is to control the infection,and for this purpose we definedfour control variables (V1;V2;V3,and V4) which are characterized as follows: using treatmentagainst TB, infection control in health-care center, co-treatment of multidrug-resistant TB andHIV or start both HIV antiretroviral, and anti-TB drug therapy and avoid close contact with TBpatient. These are defined with some different schemes to minimize and control the infection fromany population. We show numerical simulation for system (1) in the last section of the article withand without vaccination or control. From the simulation, we observed that the recovery is very fastin case of vaccination as compared to nonvaccination.
2. Related materials and problem’s formulationThis section contains a mathematical model for superinfection, that is, AIDS/HIV/TB, withthree mutual infectious classes. Here, the population model is based on superinfection character-istics of AIDS, HIV infection, TB-HIV chronic stage, and the final AIDS (HIV) infection transmissionstage. For this order, the whole population model is divided into nine mutual relations as:
(1) Susceptible individuals are represented by R1ðtÞ who are not infected, but with a chance toget infection.
(2) Latent TB individuals are represented by R2ðtÞ with no symptoms of TB.
(3) Active TB individuals are represented by R3ðtÞ with TB infection.
(4) Recovered TB individuals assigned by R4ðtÞ.(5) HIV-infected individuals represented by R5ðtÞ with no symptoms of AIDS.
(6) HIV-infected individuals having AIDS symptom are represented by R6ðtÞ.(7) HIV-infected individuals represented by R7ðtÞ which are under the treatment of HIV
infection.
(8) TB latent individuals represented by R8ðtÞ with co-infected HIV (pre-AIDS).
Tahir et al., Cogent Mathematics & Statistics (2019), 6: 1637166https://doi.org/10.1080/25742558.2019.1637166

(9) HIV-infected individuals (pre-AIDS) represented by R9ðtÞ and having active TB symptoms also.
Now all the assumptions from 1 to 9 lead a compartmental mathematical model with thefollowing differential equations:
R�1ðtÞ ¼ μ��ðtÞR1ðtÞ � ΞðtÞR1ðtÞ � dNR1ðtÞ;
R�2ðtÞ ¼ �ðtÞSðtÞ þ γ1�ðtÞR3ðtÞ � ðk1 þ τ1 þ dNÞR2ðtÞ;
R�3ðtÞ ¼ k1R2ðtÞ � ðτ2 þ dT þ dN þ δΞðtÞÞR3ðtÞ;
R�4ðtÞ ¼ τ1R2ðtÞ þ τ2R3ðtÞ � ðγ1�ðtÞ þ ΞðtÞ þ dNÞR4ðtÞ; (1)
R�5ðtÞ ¼ ΞðtÞR1ðtÞ � ðρ1 þ ϕþ ψ�ðtÞ þ dNÞR5ðtÞÞ þ α1R6ðtÞ þ ΞðtÞR4ðtÞ þ ω1R7ðtÞ;
R�6ðtÞ ¼ ρ1R5ðtÞ þ ω2R10ðtÞ � α1R6ðtÞ � ðdN þ dAÞR6ðtÞ;
R�7ðtÞ ¼ ϕR5ðtÞ þ u1ðtÞρ2R9ðtÞ þ rk3R8ðtÞ � ðω1 þ dNÞR7ðtÞ;
R�8ðtÞ ¼ γ2�ðtÞR10ðtÞ � ðk2 þ k3 þ dNÞR8ðtÞ;
R�9ðtÞ ¼ δΞðtÞR3ðtÞ þ ψ�ðtÞR5ðtÞ þ α2R6ðtÞ þ k2R8ðtÞ � ðρ2 þ dN þ dTÞR9ðtÞ:
For the above system (1), we fix the following initial conditions as
R1ðtÞ � 0; R2ðtÞ � 0;R3ðtÞ � 0; R4 � 0; R5ðtÞ � 0;R6ðtÞ � 0; R7ðtÞ � 0;
R8ðtÞ � 0; R9ðtÞ � 0:
Also, we have drawn some certain assumptions in system ð1Þ. They are as follows:
γ1, γ2, ηC, ηA, δ, and ψ represent the modification parameters.
μ represents the recruitment rates,
β1 represents the TB transmission rate,
β2 represents the HIV transmission rate.
k1 represents the rate of individuals who leave compartment 2 by becoming infected.
k2 represents the individuals who leave compartment 8 and enter into the TB infectioncompartment.
k3 represents the individual to move from compartment 8.
ρ1 represents the rate in which the individuals leave compartment 5 and enter into compartment 6.
ρ2 individuals leave compartment 9.
ω1 represents the individual who leave compartment 7.
ω2 represents the individuals who leave compartment 9.
τ1 represents the TB individual treatment rate for compartment 2 individuals.
τ2 represents the treatment rate for compartment 3 individuals.
ϕ represents the HIV treatment rate for compartment 5 individuals.
α1 represent the AIDS treatment rate.
α2 represents the HIV treatment rate for 9 class individuals.
r represents the fraction of 8 individuals who used HIV and TB treatment.
dTA represents AIDS- and TB-induced death rate.
dT represents TB individual-induced death rate.
dN represents the natural death rate.
dA represents the AIDS individual-induced death rate.

The total population of system (1) at any time t is represented by PðtÞ as below,
PðtÞ ¼ R1ðtÞ þ R2ðtÞ þ r3ðtÞ þ R4ðtÞ þ R5ðtÞ þ R6ðtÞ þ R7ðtÞ þ R8ðtÞ þ R9ðtÞ:
We also assume that:
“Active TB” individuals infect susceptible individuals of “latent TB” by the rate of transmission �.
All individuals having HIV will infect susceptible individuals of HIV by a transmission rate Ξ asunder,
�ðtÞ ¼ β1PðtÞ ðR3ðtÞ þ R9ðtÞ þ R8ðtÞÞ:
The value of Ξ is as,
ΞðtÞ ¼ β2PðtÞ ½R4Ψ4ðtÞ þ R9ðtÞ þ R8ðtÞ þ R9ðtÞ þ ηCR7ðtÞ þ ηAðR6ðtÞ þ R8ðtÞÞ�:
Also we have drawn some more assumptions as:
β1 represents the effectiveness rate of TB-infected individuals
and β2 represents the effectiveness rate of HIV-infected individuals.
ηA > 1 represents the modification parameter relative infectiousness for AIDS symptomindividuals.
ηc 0 1 represents the modification parameter of the body immunity for the individual suffered inHIV produced by anti-retroviral treatment.
3. Bounded and biological regionAs the total population of model (1) is represented by PðtÞ, so differentiating the same and usingvalues we get the following,
dPðtÞdt
� μ� dNPðtÞ:
Thus, for biological study purposes, we study model (1) in the below closed region,
Ψ ¼ fðR1ðtÞ; R2ðtÞ; R3ðtÞ;R4ðtÞ;R5ðtÞ; R6ðtÞ; R7ðtÞ;R8ðtÞ;R9ðtÞ
2 R9þ;0 < V � μ� dNPðtÞg: (2)
The value of “V” is as under,
V ¼ ðR1ðtÞ þ R2ðtÞ þ R3ðtÞ þ R4ðtÞ þ R5ðtÞ þ R6ðtÞ þ R7ðtÞ þ R8ðtÞ þ R9ðtÞÞ:
which shows that the proposed model is bounded and closed.
4. Calculation of reproductive number “R0”The reproductive number is considered as one of the important and fundamental key value inmany epidemiological models, which is represented by R0 which predicts whether the infectiousdisease will be spread into a population class or not. We define the basic reproduction number as“It shows average rate of a secondary infectious cases when ever one of infectious individual isintroduced in susceptible population.” There are many approaches that are used to derive R0 in anepidemiological mathematical model, but we used next-generation matrix concept which is inter-esting and also a very simple tool. The next-generation matrix is very useful tool to determinea biologically meaningful formula to find the basic reproduction number in the continuous epi-demic model, (that is) system of differentials equations. By the next-generation matrix approach,the whole model is divided into two groups:
(1) infected and

(2) noninfected groups
Then, we define Jacobian matrix for infectious class and then Jacobian matrix is split further intotwo matrices, that is, J ¼ F � V, where J represents the Jacobian matrix and F, V are the newly
generated matrices. After this, we find the inverse of V and multiply with matrix F, that is FV�1.Finally, the most dominant eigen value is taken, which is the required basic reproduction numberR0. According to the statement above, the basic reproduction number for our system (1) is
R0 ¼ MaxδΞðtÞ
τ2 þ dT þ dN;
ψ�ðtÞρ1 þ ϕþ dN
� �:
The above R0 is the required value of our model.
5. Optimal control problem of the proposed modelIn mathematical models,the optimal control for any problem is considered one of the powerfultools through the complex structure of the dynamical system (Mandell & Dolan,2010). The saidtechnique is used for the dynamics study of the disease, and for more details refer (Lenhart &Workman, 2007; Zaman, Kang, & Jung, 2009).It is also good to check (Khan et al., 2012, 2013a).Now to determine the optimal control to minimize the infected individuals and maximize thenumber of susceptible individuals and recovered individuals, we define six variables for 10 statevariables, which are R1ðtÞ, R2ðtÞ, R3ðtÞ, R4ðtÞ, R5ðtÞ, R6ðtÞ, R7ðtÞ, R8ðtÞ, and R9ðtÞ. Here in equation (3)we define the control variables which are defined as follows:
R�1ðtÞ ¼ μ��ðtÞR1ðtÞ � ΞðtÞR1ðtÞ � dNR1ðtÞ
þ V1LTHðtÞ þ V2ITðtÞ þ V3RðtÞ þ V4RHðtÞ þ V5ITHðtÞ þ V6AðtÞ;

þ V2ITðtÞ þ V3RðtÞ þ V4RHðtÞ þ V5ITHðtÞ:
Subjected to initial conditions of equation (2),the control variables V1;V2;V3,and V4 are assignedforusing treatment against TB, infection control in health-care center, co-treatment of multidrug-resistant TB and HIV or start both HIV antiretroviral and anti-TB drug therapy and avoid closecontact with TB patient.
Now we define the objective function with the control problem which should minimize infectionin all individuals as well as maximize susceptible and recovered individuals. To achieve the desired

goal, we define five control variables mentioned above. So the required objective function with thecontrol problem is:
JðV1;V2;V3;V4Þ ¼ minðtend0

In the above equation, we represent the terms Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8, and Z9as susceptible individuals; unexposed TB individuals; TB-infected individuals; TB recoveredindividuals with HIV but no symptom of AIDS individuals; both HIV and AIDS individuals;treatment of HIV-,TB-, and HIV-infected individuals; TB and HIV having no AIDS individuals; TBand HIV recovered with no AIDS individuals and HIV having AIDS individuals, respectively. Ourmission is to maximize the number of recovered individuals in the population and also we tryto minimize all the infected individuals. To achieve the goal, we will define the followingcontrol set. Also in equation ð4Þ,the terms used are classified as follows:
� 12 ðW1V2
1Þ using treatment against “TB,”
� 12 ðW2V2
2Þ using to avoid close contact with “TB” patient,
� 12 ðW3V2
3Þ using for co-treatment of multidrug-resistant “TB” and “HIV”
or
start both “HIV” antiretroviral and anti “TB” drug therapy,
� 12 ðW4V2
40Þ using for infection control in the health-care center.
Now to find control function for the above, we processed as below:

where (i = 1,2,3,4)
6. Existence of the optimal control problem of the modelBy considering the control system (4) at any time t ¼ 0 now to show the existence of the optimalcontrol problem, we define Equation (5) and (6) by “Lagrangian” and “Hamiltonian”. First, we needto define the Lagrangian for the optimal control problem, as under,
LðR1; R2;R3; R4; R5;R6; R7;R8; R9Þ ¼ Z1R1ðtÞ þ Z2R2ðtÞ þ Z3R3ðtÞ þ Z4R4ðtÞ þ Z5R5ðtÞ

þ 12ðW1V2

Now for the optimal control, we define the “Hamiltonian “H” as given below,

Proof: Now to prove the optimal control existence using in (Fact sheet—Latest statistics on thestatus of the AIDS epidemic | UNAIDS, 2017), we define positive control variables as well as statevariables. To minimize the case defined above, the convexity required for the objective functionalin Equations (4), V1ðtÞ;V2ðtÞ;V3ðtÞ, and V4ðtÞ is are satisfied. The set of control variablesV1ðtÞ;V2ðtÞ;V3ðtÞ, and V4ðtÞ ε W so by the definition it is closed and also convex. Here optimalcontrol system is bounded which shows the compactness and fulfills the existence of the proposedmodel and optimal control for further to integrand on objective functional (4),

7. Numerical simulation and discussionIn this subsection of the article, the numerical simulations of the proposed model (1) are presented forverification of analytical results. The numerical results are obtained by using the Runge–Kutta methodof order 4. The parameter values used in the simulation are given in Table 1, which are biologicallyfeasible. Moreover, the time interval is taken from 0 to 10 units, while the different initial populationsize for the compartmental population is given in Figures 1–9 with and without vaccination and the bargraph of the related population is also obtained. By using the parameter values, non-negative initialpopulation sizes and the time interval 0 to 10 are shown in Table 1. From Figures 1–9, it is clear thatrecovery is fast in case of vaccination, while it is also to be noted that our proposed model shows thatthe TB/HIV and AIDS individuals show some different behaviors. Moreover, here we concluded thatvaccination provided for a long time will permanently eradicate the infection from the population. Hereour numerical results also show the area involved in the population or in the community.
